As we wait for the final EMTALA (Emergency Care Ban) decision from SCOTUS, remember this is only a delay to the reality Idaho has been grappling with since this inhumane ban went into place. Idaho doctor @CaitlinGustaf15 said it best in her op-ed: https://t.co/yLHhC8Rm9K

Rep. Moyle says he doesn't know if the total abortion ban is why doctors are leaving and it might be a convenient excuse. An OB/Gyn who formerly practiced in Idaho weighs in: https://t.co/kB8CiYXtdV

The failure of Idaho's GOP majority to expand postpartum Medicaid coverage is shameful and reveals that our worst assumptions were true all along: That for so many "pro-life" politicians, the agenda is less about protecting life and more about controlling women.
Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last year, Idaho’s GOP-led Legislature has disbanded a maternal mortality committee, failed to expand postpartum Medicaid coverage and turned down federal grants for child care. https://t.co/Mi78S1ZuOH

Obstetricians are fleeing red state abortion bans. Patients & doctors are suffering. I went to Idaho to profile a family practice doctor left behind. Honored that she shared her story. I'm gifting it here:

Some doctors who handle high-risk pregnancies are fleeing restrictive abortion laws. Idaho has been particularly hard hit.

What happens when government interferes with healthcare decisions? A safe system of care linking small rural hospitals to expert specialists falls apart at the seams…

NEW from me: Idaho's abortion ban is forcing providers to leave the state & pregnant people are paying the price. “I didn’t feel safe in Idaho and I didn’t feel that my daughters were safe there either," said Dr. Kylie Cooper, who left Idaho this month.

The threat of prison time under Idaho's near-total abortion ban is forcing providers to leave the state — and pregnant people are paying the price.

“I wanted to address my senators, Cruz and Cornyn.. I would like for them to know that what happened to me is a direct result of the policies they support. I nearly died on their watch and I may have been robbed of the opportunity to have children in the future”

Holy shit. No wonder they wanted to expel @Justinjpearson from the Tennessee House. He’s brilliant. Watch him school his Republican colleagues for trying to pass an another bill targeting trans youth by [mis]quoting Alexander Hamilton and the founding fathers.

The only fix to any of these laws is for the Idaho Legislature to get out of the medical business and allow trained physicians to do their jobs & let women access health care. Opinion | Idaho Republicans are building an abortion police state https://t.co/MNSt7BZkoK via @msnbc

As a Democratic lawmaker, I’ve had a front row seat to this horrifying shift.
